Chapter 99 An Intruder?

  • Turner’s POV
  • There was an uproar of jubilation and shouts of joy all over the celebration grounds. It had been decades without a Queen and the people were excited to see the King’s second chance mate. Since getting mates isn’t easy these days that people end up taking chosen mates, getting a second chance mate is a rare phenomenon. It is not that it was unheard of, it was a very rare thing to happen and maybe because of royal blood, royals can easily get second chances. The King gave his mate his hand and she came closer to him and they hugged each other. Everyone was happy and excited. “Thank you very much, in a few days, we will be preparing for your Queen’s coronation and the mating ceremony for Warrior Turner and Priestess Katty,” the King continued. Wow! This was exciting but, wait a minute! ‘We are going to have to hear from goddess Selene first before we proceed.’ I looked apologetically at Katty but she just smiled at me. ‘Don’t worry, I will ask her tonight!’ she said in my mind and I was totally surprised. ‘How did you do that? We haven’t mated yet!’ I asked her now, looking at her with widened eyes. She smiled and squeezed my hand to make me relax. ‘I can speak to anybody through my mind. More especially that today we have been officially accepted into the pride.’ I had forgotten that my baby was a powerful being. I sighed and smiled at her. “Please enjoy the dinner and mingle with our newest members to get to know them better,” the King said and took the Queen by her to get off the podium. We all filed out and did the same. We dished out from the buffet section and went to sit on the table. Lucy and Nelly were not introduced because they were not going to become our members but they were just guests. While we were eating, one of the warriors who were guarding the celebration grounds approached our table. When I saw him, I got worried and wondered what was going on. His facial expression said something was wrong. He walked towards me and crouched closer to my ear. “Warrior Turner, there seems to be a problem, can I talk to you away from everyone?” he whispered so that no one would get unnecessarily worried even if they heard us. I nodded, turned to Katty and said, “I’ll be right back babes!” she nodded and turned to chat with her friends. I stood to follow the warrior out. When we were far from earshot, he stopped and turned towards me. “What is going on Pete, it looks as if you are troubled by something. Is everything okay?” I asked him before he could say anything. He sighed again. “I am sorry to disturb your dinner Head warrior but it seems like we have an unwanted intruder in the magic dessert.” I tensed at such words? “Unwanted? If they are unwanted, what are they doing here and who is that?” I asked, getting irritable. I was waiting for Pete’s answer but I couldn’t help but wreck my mind looking for possible answers. 
  • There was only one lion in history that was banned from Badosa and we never heard what became of him. That was Donald. He became notorious and cut deals with giants to take out the King and tried to incite a few other lions to unseat the King. Of course they could not succeed. The few lions that had associated with him were executed but he escaped through the help of the notorious wizard who unfortunately the Leo could not ban from the magic land. This was a story that happened when I was so little and it was through that war that I lost my parents, the Head warriors. My blood started boiling and I didn’t know how but when that happened, Katty appeared out of nowhere and held my hand. That calmed me down a bit and I was happy that she did that for me. I was nervous about the intruder but was also thrilled at knowing that my mate will always feel my emotions and help. Well, not just my emotions technically but everyone’s emotions. She was a healer and therefore was meant to be an empath also. I raised my head and looked at Pete for answers. ‘Should I still continue the conversation, Head warrior Turner?’ Pete mind-linked and I nodded. There was no point in hiding this from Katty, she would read our minds anyways. “Kellah, the giant says that he saw one of the head warrior giants sneak in someone at the portal from earth and he gave the description that fit him,” he said and I was confused by his words. “Him? Who are you referring to?” I asked, crossing my fingers that he would not say it was who I was thinking of. Though I had seen that man once, and it had been a long time back his image was instilled in each of our memories and it was used as a training introduction for every warrior that started training so that, incase he ever tries to come back to our land, we would recognize him and alert the authorities. High Priest Mayi used a mirror and called forth his image on it to show the warrior intakes for every year. The nice part was that, even though his image was that of when he was still young and probably had changed, or even deliberately masked his image through magic, he had a peculiar birthmark on his hand. It looked like he had a tattoo of a lion on the back of his hand. It was not a tattoo but a birthmark. One that the wizard used to deceive him into thinking he had a potential to dethrone a king. “Donald!” he breathed and my anger rose again. I wanted to shift right at that moment and go tear him apart. He was the reason I grew up parent-less and I hated him with every cell of my body. I roared and I knew any attentive lion would hear that. High Priest Mayi appeared out of nowhere. I made a note to get used to them popping up anytime and anywhere. “Donald? Are they sure? Where is him?” I asked after calming down a bit from my mate’s touch! “What about Donald?” Mayi asked. “He was still telling me that someone who looks like him has been spotted being sneaked into Badosa by a giant,” I explained and all that came from High Priest Mayi was, “Oh so it is already time for the battle?” We all looked at him confused.
